Let's review this for a minute.......

Another irony that might be relevant to older fans involves some games played in 1970 and 1971. The Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns 6-2 and they beat the Detroit Lions in the playoffs 5-0. You know, if the internet had been around during that time, I doubt that fans would be remembering Roger Staubach with as much reverence. The low scoring victories wouldn't be a tribute to an historic defense, the Doomsday. No, it would be an indictment on the quarterbacks and how they did nothing.

Fans would be just as wrong then about Staubach as fans today are about Dak Prescott.

Craig Morton was the QB in those games, not Staubach.
You can show yourself out..

He outplayed Tom Brady. Look at that stinker he put up. Noone is talking about The GOAT playing like crap.
and Nobody is talking about Bill Bellichek and his crappy coaching he is doing this year with his 3-4 team.

I wonder why? Well, 6 SB wins gives you that kind of slack.

He was rusty of course but bottom line he outplayed Detroit's Goff and other QBs around the league including Tom Brady and this is after a 5 game layoff. I'm not disappointed with Dak whatsoever with his performance in the Detroit game.

I think the Dallas D outplayed the Lion's D in the second half.

I don't know how good Dak would have been with this Cowboys D swarming all over him. I will credit the Lion's D. That is a good young bunch also.

I kind of like how active that Okudah fellow is.

Doesn't matter. "Goff's elite, he took the Rams to a SB". :rolleyes:

Good for Dak!
There's a little more to it than that.

Let's see if we can think above a 3rd grade level....
  • Dak faced the very worst defense in the league and Goff faced one of the better ones.... especially vs the pass.
  • Goff was missing his two top weapons (and they had few as it is) and Dak had pretty much everyone

I'm glad did ok but come on, we aren't comparing on a level ground here.

I’ve always thought Dak was better than Goff but outplaying him Sunday doesn’t mean a whole helluva lot. Goff wasn’t terrible but he wasn’t even above average.

The Goat is 45, the fact he is even in the league at all is crazy
And playing with a short deck. If Dallas had the issues some of these other clubs are facing, you could give the QB's a pass.

Let's review this for a minute.......

Dak was drafted in the 4th round.

Goff was the overall #1 pick in the draft. Wentz went #2 overall.

Five more quarterbacks were taken before Dak Prescott

I wonder how many of those teams that drafted a quarterback before Dak wished they had drafted Dak instead..

Yes, Dak was better than Goff and you bet that is a significant fact even to this day.

Most of you acknowledge that Dak is better to the degree that you don't even consider it an achievement.

However, the fact remains. The vast majority considered either Goff or Wentz the best quarterback in the draft that year. Today, the vast majority believes Dak is the best quarterback drafted that year.

But the Cowboys only won by 18 points and Dak only threw for one TD and the Cowboy offense couldn't score until late in the game. It's ironic because, if they had just waited a little longer to start scoring Dak would then be hailed for his great come-from-behind victory. Funny how that works.

Another irony that might be relevant to older fans involves some games played in 1970 and 1971. The Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns 6-2 and they beat the Detroit Lions in the playoffs 5-0. You know, if the internet had been around during that time, I doubt that fans would be remembering Roger Staubach with as much reverence. The low scoring victories wouldn't be a tribute to an historic defense, the Doomsday. No, it would be an indictment on the quarterbacks and how they did nothing.

Fans would be just as wrong then about Staubach as fans today are about Dak Prescott.

It's as if fans never realize that the opponent defense is trying to do to the Cowboys exactly what their defense is doing to opponents. Some of those defenses ae pretty good and all of them have the Cowboys at or near the top of their list of teams they would love to beat. Believe it. The Cowboys will always get their best effort because of perception. This is also something Cowboys players are going to have to accept and use as incentive to toughen up.

Some call this an ugly win. It isn't.

An "ugly" win, if you believe they exist, would be the Cowboys beating the Bills in the last seconds in a game where our quarterback threw 5 interceptions.

An ugly win happens in games where you were predicted to win easily, you made so many mistakes that you deserved to lose the game, but you won anyway. That didn't happen yesterday.

You saw an inspired, well coached, but beat up Lion defense play big in the first half and become fatigued in the 3rd quarter where the Cowboys offense begin to move the ball. You saw a great defensive effort once again by the Cowboys defense. They did to Goff what they have been doing to other quarterbacks almost on a weekly basis. Is Burrow really that bad? Is Daniel Jones really a bust?

Dak came back a little rusty, took a while to get started, and helped the team get to 5-2.

Meanwhile, the Commanders benched Carson Wentz and Dak looked better than Goff.

Expect no replies to this post. It is to well thought out, has no troll bait, and is concise . Thank you sir

LOL, Brady has been to and won more Super Bowls himself than the entire Cowboys organization.
How long will the scratched record be played? We know he's won, but does that grant immunity from now on, regarding the current season?

So funny:muttley:[/QUOT
Both Goff and Dak are scrubs. Both of them have similar drop offs when going to their second reads. But at least Goff doesn’t drop over his feet doing traditional drop backs from under center and he can throw the ball much better, without forcing it with his arm. I bet you Moore would get more out of Goff than Dak.
You lost me immediately when you wrote "I bet you Moore would get more out of Goff than Dak."
